Description
Want to practise your improvisation skills and jam with a jazz band? Here’s your chance! Presented by the Fringe Club as one of the programmes of the “Jazz-Go-Central, Jazz-Go-Fringe” project, Open Platform provides opportunities for young, amateur musicians to jam and improvise with professional artists and bands.
Improvisation is a key aspect of jazz. It is fun to play, improvise, take risks, and jam as a team. As a famous saying goes, “Once is a mistake, twice is jazz.”
The 4th Open Platform will be hosted by Tjoe Man Cheung again, who leads his band NTBM (not-to-be-missed) in an evening of jazz at the Fringe Club. They’ll be opening with a set of original jazz compositions from their latest album, and orange, and selected standards, followed by a jam session focusing on music of the 50s and 60s by such luminaries as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Lee Morgan, Oscar Peterson, Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon and John Coltrane.
